Lake Erie Pumpkin Palooza @ Lake Erie Metropark, Marshland Museum Oct 18 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Bring the whole family for a festive, hands-on afternoon of pumpkin fun. We’ll dive into the gooey, squishy ins and outs of pumpkins—scooping seeds, exploring pulp, and discovering how pumpkins grow, why they have ribs, and what’s really going on inside that tough orange shell. Expect a little mess, a lot of laughs, and plenty of “ewww!” and “whoa!” moments along the way.
- Ages: Fun for all ages, but geared toward children ages 4-14. Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
- Time: 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.
- Cost: $5 per child, $5 per adult
- Location: Lake Erie Metropark, Marshland Museum
- Pre-registration is required by 4 p.m. the day before the program – Register Here
